Is it me or does anyone else think shes ridiculous?

Its not really about head injuries but, having suffered 3 brain haemorrhages and a stroke, im living alone and im having to cope with a neighbour whos a tad thick and obsessed with covid.

It happened during the very first lockdown. Her daughter is a nurse and i asked if it really was as bad as they say about covid or was it just hype.

Next minute she was telling her mother that i thought it was all hype.

She keeps making comments when i use the bus as she seems to think i go licking handrails and door handles.

I had food poisoning last week and id just spoken to the doctor on the phone.

Apparently her daughter told her it might be a symptom of covid.

Shes telling neighbours this about me too and im getting even more isolated than usual.

Why is she like this?

Hi. I don't think there's any way to know why your neighbour is like this. From what you say, she seems to have some problems, but I guess all you can do is avoid contact.

[Marnie22]

Well, I hope you have no more bother.

What an unsettling situation for you. Doesn't the Covid issue seem to have brought out strange reactions in some people? I agree with Marnie, it may well be a good idea if you avoid contact with the neighbour in question, and her daughter, without being too obvious about it.

As far as the other neighbours are concerned, if they're avoiding you because they've been misinformed that you have Covid, that won't last long, just a couple of weeks or so. Your (other) neighbours should know you well enough to work out the sort of person you are for themselves without needing direction from others.

Weird, hurtful comments can generate tremendous anxiety - take care not to give your neighbour or her daughter, the somewhat judgemental nurse, the power to do that to you. Avoid entering their world of weirdness; be cautious of it from a distance.

Thanks. She seems to think i have no relatives in public jobs. My Mum is a retired neuro nurse, my sister is high up in the CID, i have a cousin whos a ward sister and my Mums friends daughter and graanddaughter are nurses.

I think the daughter nextdoor is a staff nurse but apparently knows more than my doctor LOL

Well, what a statement to make as if that is supposed to explain her behaviour.I find that an insulting comment.

If you have any further bother with her, my advice would be not to confide in her,

[spideyman in reply to Fitzhugh]

Sorry I’m lost here. What statement?

[Fitzhugh in reply to spideyman]

That she votes Labour.

[spideyman in reply to Fitzhugh]

That’s a joke. I’ve no idea what she votes and that’s up to her.

I’m not getting political on here

[cat3 in reply to spideyman]

I'm with Fitzhugh. Not such a funny joke when it suggests a Labour voter (or anyone else) is 'A tad thick'.

Maybe think before posting ?

[spideyman in reply to cat3]

Oh well
